We started with 6 tiny little blue leg hermit crabs back in April or so. Over the months we watched them grow, transfer to new larger shells... then one day they started to dissapear. The last sighting was almost 1 1/2 - 2 months ago. Last night we were lounged in front of the tank watching our...

We picked up a neon goby last week and with in hours he was cleaning our yellow tang. Way cool to watch :) What are the odds that our Flame Angel will offer himself up for a cleaning session? Not that he needs it... would just be cool... heh. It seems I remember reading some where that they...

My brother inlaw lives in Tampa and has a large 8' x 3' x 40" acrylic tank built into a wall. The tank is old and leaking. He has been patching it up for a while now but it's gotten to "that" point of needing to be replaced. He is considering a glass 10' x 3' x 30" (40 inches is a bit too...

It took us a few days to figure out were the little devil was hidding. Around 8-8:30 every night he would just flat out disappear *poof*. In the morning he would suddenly reappear a half hour or so after the lights would come on. One morning a sat staring at the tank... waiting. I looked a way...

We have what we think is a Neon Goby and have had him for a couple of days. They seem to be hard to come by so when I saw him... I bought him. It looks like one but, from what we've read, doesn't act like one. He swims around all day (all over the tank). I thought they "perched" on a rock and...

We want to improve circulation in our 75 gal (48") FO tank. Not counting the return we have 2 x Aqua Clear 802's and 1 x 402. All three pumps are at least 7 years old. We want to replace all three. We'll keep the old ones for QT tank and new SW mixing. We are looking for suggestions on pump...

I have brown, red and green happing all at the same time. Is this common? (see my profile for tank stats)

The left front fin on our flame angel doesn't look so good. It looks like it's rotting away. Kind of a transparent milky white and the tips are frayed. He actually swims a bit on his right side "/" because he uses the right fin most of the time. He does use his bad fin occasionally. He is eating...

We keep it in the fridge but it smells bad after a week or two. My wife is in charge of food and feeding, I'm in charge of posting ;) Can you spread this stuff out on a cookie sheet and freeze it? She swears it smells bad after a couple of weeks, pitches it and buys another jar *sigh*

Yesterday we noticed the the water has a "slight" cloudy look to it. Last water change was 15% this last Friday. Tests done friday evening were all inline. I'm going to test again tonight. Is cloudy water in an established FO tank a sign of bad things to come?

(check my profile for the tank stats) We are wondering if we can have cleaner shrimp, snails etc. with our set up or do they need lr and/or ls? If NOT then are there any criiters/clean up crew or others that would be suitable? We want some criiters for looks and clean up. LR and LS are at...

We are gluttons for punishment!! We acquired these 2 this last Tuesday. Both were eating with in 3 hours and are now eating like pigs and grazing on nori. The clown and his 2 new friends are all getting along, eating and just plain enjoying theirnew home. Here is to hoping for a long happy...

We lost a small green chromis and a small clown to our overflow box over night (see link below). Is there any thing we can do to protect the fish with out restricting the flow? And will the surviving clown be ok with out her mate? http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?p=145502#145502

Our baby regal tang didn't make it. She took her last breath around 9pm last night... not unexpected but dissapointing none the less. Over night we lost 1 green chromis and the small male clown to the over flow. We found another green chromis in the over flow and he was looking pretty bad (was...

We picked up a MagDrive 7 (for the sump), a 100A Top Fathom Skimmer, and a MagDrive 3 for the skimmer. The return pump is a AquaClear 802 PH that has been there (and running) for about 6-7 years and the flow seems pretty weak to me so we were going to use the Mag7. Got the pumps switched out...

We have a baby regal/hippo tang and he's going to need a tank mate soon. We would like to get a clown of some flavor if there is one that will cohabitate... not just with the tang but other fairly passive fish down the road. Are there any clowns that would fit the bill? FO tank btw. If no...

Am I the only one that truly has a FO tank? It seems that everyone at least has some LR and other critters.

She is a baby Regal Tang about 1 inch (including tail) and is about the cutest liitle thing we have ever seen. We were planing on getting a few green chromis to start but fell head over heals for "Marina". When we put her to bed last night she was hiding behind a rock next to a PH. Got up this...

We need to start thinking about the type, size, quantity etc. of fish that will be finding a new home in our 75 gal, fo, cc tank (no lr... just fish). We would like a variety of types and colors since they will be the focal point. Hardy would be best since we are bound to kill the hard to keep...

Using the calculator it says my 75 gal SW FO tank can have up to 75 inches of fish (minus the tails). Is that right? Sounds like a lot of fish to me.

<------------------- Yellow Tang :)

I know this has been discussed at some length in the forums but I'm going to ask any way ;) 75 gal, SW, FO (no fish yet), CC, Wet/dry, No LR, sand etc. We don't know what kind of fish, size or quantity yet. If it was your tank what skimmer would you buy?

There are no silly questions, right? :oops: Our tank is against a wall... FO ... and the wall is a terrible back drop. A few years ago we bought a photo background, quite nice actually. We wetted it and squeegied it on but it's now all bubbly and ugly. Is there a trick to getting looking...

First a little background. I don't know all of the terminoligy so bear with me :) 75 gal tank (will be fish only) crushed coral substrate. 20 gal tank with Bio Balls and a sump pump (what ever it's called). We set up the tank 3-4 years ago and did a terrible job with it and finally the fish...
